Alex Laut

Overview

I am a Franco-American engineer/physicist who is developing fusion enabling technologies and particle accelerators.

I work incredibly hard and take pride in my work, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying life outside. I'm an aspiring mountaineer, adrenaline junkie, excessive skier and runner.

Fusion Enabling Technologies

Gyrotrons, THz Transmission Lines, RF Optics

Optimization

This is a simulated cross section of a gyrotron internal mode converter, optimized by use of phase correcting mirrors to generate a purely gaussian output

Prototyping

This is an example planar magnetics used for electro-magnetic shimming. Unwanted magnetic field gradients can be canceled to achieve high field homogeneity in a compact and inexpensive manner.
